The auction process has the potential to get the seller more money than if he had just listed it for sale with a set price.

The 1967 N.A.R.T Ferrari that brought over 27 mil last week is a perfect example of that. The catalog estimates of it's value were I think 14-18 mil ? Two people really wanted it. </div></div> I can name many examples of when a car was offered to private parties for tens of thousands of dollars less only to see them pay a much higher price at auction. It makes no sense whatsoever to me but it is what it is. I have tracked L88 Corvettes for about 30 years and this will be fun to watch. If I owned the car and I needed to sell it, I would do what the owner is doing. Put in a open market place with the largest captive audience to get the most for my car. This car should do very well. I hope I win the lottery in the next couple of weeks.
